Latest Flying Machine
"I propose personally to test my
flying machine early next spring, and
I am confident that I .shall be able to
soar through the air from my home
in Newark to my office at 5 Nassau
street, New York, with the greatest
ease. Within twelve months we will
all be able to fly."
John P. Holland, the wizard of sub-
marine boat construction, made the
above declaration to a Chicago Amer-
ican reporter at his home, 38 Newton
street, Newark.
"When I say that wo will all bo
using flying machines within a year’s
time," continued Mr. Holland with a
smile, "1 mean that every one who
cares to do so can be afforded the op-
portunity through the use of aero-
planes and flying machines.
"Dirigible balloons and the combi-
nation of aeroplane and balloon navi-
gated by Knabenshue over New York
will never become practical for ordi-
nary aerial navigation, because of the
gus bag necessary to sustain them In
their flight. There is too much resist-
ance to the air In the gas bag bal
loons and they will shortly be done
away with.
“In their place will be substituted
the aeroplanes and flying machines.
The aeroplane with gasoline motors
will be used for the flight of more
than one person, for commercial pur-
poses and the transit of the malls.
The flying machine will be used for
one-man aerial locomotion.
"In the past twelve years 1 have
constructed four flying machines, and
have destroyed each of them after
discovering some Imperfection in their
mechanism. I am now working on the
fifth, and will personally experiment
with it as soon as the winter is over.
In its construction 1 have changed the
entire original idea of flying machines.
"A speed of forty miles an hour
can easily be secured by an active
man. A man walking at the rate of
three miles per hour on land will be
able to move at the rate of fifteen
miles per hour with no more exer-
tion."
REPORTER WAS OUT FOR NEWS. I RICH CROPS FROM POOR LAND.
All Times and Places Alike for News-
paper Man.
Senator Foraker Is haunted by an
Ohio newspaper man who at all sorts
of times appears looking for news.
The enterprising Journalist outdid
himself a few days ago and official
Washington Is still laughing at the
story. The senator had visited hts
dentist, who decided that the drill
must bo applied to an offending tooth.
Mr. Foraker know by experience just
what the coming torture would be and
meekly submitted to the preliminar-
ies. Just as the dentist was about to
Introduce the buzzing tormentor his
newspaper friend burst in and asked
for the latest news. For once In hLs
lib' the senator was glad to see the
young man. whose sudden appearance
postponed for a few minutes at least
the terrifying ordeal In prospect. Mr.
Foraker gave him all the news he
could think of and then resigned him-
self to his fate. Later he said, in tell-
ing of the circumstance: "I hope to
heaven that on the day I’m burled
nothing of Interest In Ohio polities
occurs. If It does that young man will
pry up the coffin lid and ask me the
particulars.”
Champion Tree Choppers.
Felling ’.’tin trees, comprising a to-
tal of 70(1,800 feet of lumber, was
the remarkable feat accomplished by
three Snohomish loggers In eight
days' time Henry Wiley, William
Fordner and Max Johnson, the three
"fellers" who chopped the trees, were
given a rush order recently by the
Pennelton Lumber company to fell
the timber in a certain tract along the
Snohomish river. The men were given
ten days in which to cut the trees,
but finished two days ahead of time.
The trees cut averaged about four
logs Seattle Post Intelligencer.
Stone in the Heart.
A Greek woman employed In the
American hospital In Oeseres, Turkey,
was stirred by a revival She straight-
way asked leave to visit a woman
whom she hud Injured and to whom
she had not spoken for ten years.
When she trudged through the snow
three or four miles to ask her 'vn

western part of Massachusetts a cor

Comparison of State of Vermont With
Her Sister Kansas.
In a broad way It is true that the'
richer our acres and the more open
they are to easy cultivation ihe less
they produce. The stale of Kansas
was designed by the Almighty to be
one vast garden.. Ou the other hand,
most of New Kngland. and •» great
part of the slate of New York, was ap-
parently ill-signed to produce nothin^
but trees growing wild Ar. ! yet. to
the acre, the rock and mountainous
little stale of Vermont in 190'» prod in
ed forty bushels of corn upon every
acre planted to that crop, wheren-
Kansas, rich from border io bord* r.
produced but nineteen. In 'he same
year Vermont produced 23 5 bushels
of wheat to the acre and Kansas but
seventeen. Tim general average of
the production of corn to the -tore for
the whole United Slate.-, was 25 3 bush-
els to the acre. Far as this was be-
low the production of Vermont and
also below that of New York slat-
(thirty-two bushels), ii was four bush-
els above that of "fat Kansas.’’ By
the federal census of 1900 it 'n shown
that in 1899 the value of all the crops
produced In Kansas was 111 (I to the
acre, whereas the value of \- i mont's
crops to the acre was $28.30 New

Use of Telephones at Sea.
A use to which the submarine tele
phone may be put In time of war will
be for communicating with submarine
torpedo boats, ns well ns for detecting
j the presence of the latter class of ves-
i sets belonging to an enemy. For Ihe
former purpose an Instrument called a
multiple sounder has been constructed.

Tailor-Made la Elaborate.
The long-coated suit Is variously ex-
pressed this season, but there Is a cer-
aln unanimity on the part of the tull-
uh that a rich broadcloth is the best
vehicle for their work.
A soft shade of deep rose red, Just
what one sees tn u jacqueminot rose,

School girls are adopting a style of
hair dressing Introduced by a leading
actress—one that ihe family photo-
grapher of several years ago commem-
orates. The front hair is waved in
natural fusion, there is a parting that
loses its way under a light fluff and
two long braids crossed at the back
ami brought around the head like a
fillet.

Amethyst is a color that is seen
more frequently as the season ad-
vances.
The luxurious evening coat Is
lined throughout with ruffles of nar-
row Valenciennes.
There is a new inlet with horizon-
tal stripes of lace, which makes love-
ly evening gowns.
When one wishes to appear partic-
ularly well, the becoming picture hat
remains the favorite.
Blouses of satiny leather in white
or colors are the modish shirt waists
for motoring or driving.
Hells of gold braid are fetching and
will brighten up the dark shirtwaist
suit to be so much worn this winter.
Many women have their gowns
made up with two skirts, one short
and severe, the other long and
trimmed.
Such a pretty opera bag for the
woman in black is of black Irish
crochet over silk. The mounting is
gun metal.
A velvet collar is a foregone con-
clusion upon almost every coat, what-
ever be the general nature of the
coat. The long coat, the Empire coat,
and the bolero vary widely in line
but all have this one feature in com
moa.
Graduated bands of velvet will be
a popular skirt, trimming for silk and
wool frocks, while velvet revers, col
lars. buttons, bows and girdles are
legion.
Willow Plumes Much Used.
In day headgear the willow plutm»
hold supreme sway, and many are the
soft tailing ways in which these won-
derful feathers are employed Like
the ilnsel flowers, they have an arti-
ficial all. but this very hothouse qual-
ity stamps them as modish aristocrats.
None of these precious tinseled things
and fanciful feathers may be seen
next season. However, the period of
their reign cannot help but be remem-
bered.
Chort Waisted Girl Is GUd.
The long pointed waist-line is dis
appearing. New gowns from the su
preme dress authorities show a short
round waist, with long skirt liner
from the belt down: whereat the
naturally short-waisted woman—whe
has been hard to put to it to draw hei
bodice down imo the unconscionably
long lines prescribed—will rejoice.
Dainty Crepe de Chine Waist.
Blouse or pink crepe de chine made
with groups of fine tucks and elab-
silk, all trimmed with white satin rib-
bon and valenclennes lace, forming
little fun-shaped ruffles on the skirt.
The full blouse has a yoke of
guipure bordered with a white satin
ribbon, and the corslet girdle is of
white liberty. The short, puffed
sleeves are finished with the ribbon
and lace ruffles.
To Make Nightingale Sleeve.
The nightingale sleeve is worn a
great deal upon the tea gbwn, for it
is comfortable and pretty, and it can
be made at home, which is a great
thing in its favor. If you have an old
sleeve lather large and flaring at the
hand, you can slit it right up to the
shoulder, letting it fall wide open.
Now you will want to make a series
of big eyeit holes, through which you
can run ribbons, so that they will tie
In little bows on top of the arms, or
if you do not feel equal to the task
of making the eyelet holes, you can
take rings nicely embroidered and
sew them to the sleeve, after which
you can run ribbons through these
rings.
Brilliant Colored Feathers.
Flaunting plumage of most vivid
colorings decks the winter hats of
the woman of fashion, and, curiously
enough, not even the most brilliant
feathers are left as nature colored
them They are dyed even more bril-
liantly to suit tlie millinery freak of
the moment.
Peacock tail plumage is used in its
metallic blue shade, while the tall
feathers of the same bird ure dyed a
rich brick red.
A London milliner yesterday tempt-
ed her customers with a purple hat
of the Gainsborough type, which was
one glorious mass of that magnificent
color known as etuint nco. The feath-
ers on the hat repeated the dye.

Separate Waist.
The foundation of one charming lit-

in favor than ever, if that were possi-
ble Is of tucked mousseline de sole,
with narrow Richelieu plaitlngs dis-
posed so as to mark the groups of
tucks. This fashions the entire cor-
sage, over which Is laid a bolero in !
rather coarse Irish crochet, following
an Irregular outline, anil which strap-
pings of pale pink satin ribbon serve
to define. The sleeve is puffe 1 almost

The yoke and elbow sleeves are

Louis Seize Coats.
A narrow strip of velvet and satin
in two shades of rose was the mater-
ial chosen for a jaunty Louis Seize
basquine of a dinner-frock. The coat
was ornamented with large buttons of
velvet In the darker shade of rose, set
!n paste and worn with fichu of creamy
moussellne and lace embellished with
embroidery done in narrow satin rib
bon in two shades of rose.
These Louis Seize coats keep their
hold upon feminine fancy and will
doubtless retain their prestige
throughout the winter. Almost every
truck and coat of the moment Is
trimmed, at least to some slight ex
ter.:, with velvet.
